Welcome to a dangerous battle.

Or maybe I should start with this: “Hi, my name is Emma, and I’m trying to make myself care about reading ARCs on time for the first moment in my life.”

This isn’t to say I don’t care about ARCs. I do. I always read them. I just…historically don’t mind about any sort of timeline when doing so.

Until now.

I am attempting to take on all of my overdue publisher-provided books. As I begin, I have 10 total e-ARCs, physical ARCs, and finished copies I should have already read…but the longer I take, the more there will be. Ten more are coming due in March alone. There’s no time to waste, so…

Let’s get into it.
